Fitzhugh Fella Posted 28 April, 2015 Share Posted 28 April, 2015 It's close season 2017 and Saints have just qualified for the Europa league for the 3rd season in a row while across the Forest plucky Bournemouth have just been relegated after 2 years in the Premiership. The loyal Koeman's contract has now run down and he leaves for Barcelona/Holland. Saints turn to Eddie Howe to be their new manager, safe in the knowledge with his wife not keen to leave the area, his appointment could be a long standing one. Far-fetched? You heard it here first oh in the other direction, Eastleigh have beaten relegated Portsmouth on the last day to gain promotion to League I. Portsmouth get ready for the Vauxhall Conference with a mouth watering local derby with Havant the pick of their fixtures. Warning: this thread will be revisited by Trousers in June 2017 so careful how much you pour scorn now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 28 April, 2015 Share Posted 28 April, 2015 Why would a club in the top 6 of the Premier League playing European football want a manager of small club who has just been relegated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trumush Posted 28 April, 2015 Share Posted 28 April, 2015 I think we should factor in Garry Monk returning to his "spiritual home" somewhere along the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 28 April, 2015 Share Posted 28 April, 2015 I think we should factor in Garry Monk returning to his "spiritual home" somewhere along the line. His spiritual home is Torquay, he will team up with Mike Williamson to help them return to the Football League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilchards Posted 28 April, 2015 Share Posted 28 April, 2015 I do believe the black box would push Eddie Howe forward as a great English manager option for us. IMHO better options will be available to us if we are doing well in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be happy with Eddie in two years time. After all, he is the current reigning "Manager of the Decade". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bournemouth are still backed by unreliable if not downright dodgy sources which is one reason why I think it will end in tears, probably not next season but the one after that, hence my post about Howe jumping ship to join us in 2017. My post might be slightly tongue in cheek but it would not surprise me or disappoint me to see Howe in the SMS hot seat come 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redslo Posted 30 April, 2015 Share Posted 30 April, 2015 As long as we are throwing out wild predictions: Koeman will extend his contract one year and then take over at Holland. Jurgen Klinsmann will have had enough of the US national job and will become the new manager of Southampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 30 April, 2015 Share Posted 30 April, 2015 (edited) Mourinho states his head is already in Southampton As is Pep Guardiola's.........which starts the most bizarre auction as they both start a bidding war for the job where they each offer their services for less money than the other. Even more bizarrely this has nothing to do with managing what has fast become the richest club in the world due to the number of exhibition games they have played in North Korea following the sudden fall of the communist regime, and the discovery of larger oil and precious mineral reserves than the whole of the Middle East and South Africa put together under its soil, turning them very quickly into a capitalist state. It emerges that the whole country supports Southampton after a friendship struck up between a couple of the national team players and Terry Paine during the 1966 World Cup. These exhibition games earn Saints per minute what Man City were paid for a whole exhibition game in January 2015 in the middle east which emerged as a sly effort by their owners to inject more cash into the club via the back door and avoid falling foul of FFP. Now all this money has filtered into the accounts Saints can Hoover up any player they wish without fear of sanction to push hard for the elusive CL qualification. Pep and Jose both really want the job as living or having a job in Southampton is the only way they can qualify to buy a residential property on the new waterfront between the Itchen Bridge and the old TVS studios as this has become the most desirable property location in the world with land values that dwarf Sandbanks to mere pennies by comparison, replacing the Northam bridge with a tunnel to lessen road noise saw the prices rise another 45% the day the first car entered the Matt & Franny Tunnel.

the_emu Posted 30 April, 2015 Share Posted 30 April, 2015 Can't help but think the club are already building a succession plan from within. When ROKO moves on, ERKO hangs around to keep the Koeman dynasty alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
